    CodeteamB replied to BKCinNOLA's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have a couple. In university I was in a large lecture theatre for anatomy class it was the second midterm. I wasn't feeling well so rushed through the test and was the first to finish. I stood up,...

    CodeteamB replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    To clarify my last, we do not triage away, rather provide a list of PCPs and remind patients that they can avoid ER wait times by making apps with a GP next time they experience similar

  3. Seriously?!?!

    CodeteamB replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    I ask that question all the time when I'm having trouble getting to the bottom of a chief complaint. " what are you hoping we can do for you today." It seems to startle people into honesty ie: "I want...

    CodeteamB replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

  6. Seriously?!?!

    CodeteamB replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    God forgive me, but it's a shame you can't Gibb's slap a person for a complaint like this. Lol, I had to look up what that was, but totally agree. Had to make do with some behind the chart eye...

  7. Seriously?!?!

    CodeteamB replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    0445: I was out for a walk, saw the hospital and thought "it's been awhile since my last check-up." No Acute Complaints. By ambulance: sprained ankle yesterday, seen in urgent care and given splint...

  8. Running PRBC concurrently with NS?!

    CodeteamB replied to nurseap's topic in General Nursing

  9. Nursing and being a mother....

    CodeteamB replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    I have great work/life balance. I'm lucky to have a workplace with lots of available shifts and a desire to "overstaff" when possible so I can pretty much pick my days and hours. One thing I will say...

    CodeteamB replied to EMEddie's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This is your career! Go with the position that you feel will offer more to you an help you to grow and learn. If the positions were reversed and this manager had to withdraw his offer for some reason...

  11. Nursing and being a mother....

    CodeteamB replied to emptyboxcars's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered a casual position? I work casual, pick up to .8-1.0 and set my own hours. I'm able to spend plenty of time with my kids, take time off when I need it and maintain a nursing career,...

  12. Any other cold hearted nurses out there?

    CodeteamB replied to sweet~revenge's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think part of the problem is that our profession has been traditionally thought of/portrayed as soft hearted angels of mercy or nasty cruel witches (Florence/Ratched). Is doing what is necessary...

    CodeteamB replied to teehee's topic in Canada

  15. ED rave

    CodeteamB replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    Fast pace, autonomy and interdisciplinary cooperation are some of my favorite things about ER. I never fail to learn something new every shift I
